This year has been pretty hectic work-wise for me so I was actually surprised that some of the stuff was in 2012. I would have sworn it was before that. So for this alone it was good to take a trip through and see what I did in 2012.

As always I’ll sub-divide the pictures into categories because I just cannot chose only one or a handful of images…. As always I will highlight my favorite of each category. Note: by clicking on an image you will see a larger version of the images in a clickable gallery.

Analogue

I still enjoy film photography a whole lot, although I didn’t get the chance to take very many images this year. I love the unexpected results though. You never know what you will get back when you send in a roll of film and I quite enjoy that.

HDR

This year I took a lot more HDR images than last year, mainly because I had the chance to get away twice this year, once to Augsburg (Germany) for a weekend and then two weeks on Madeira.

Macro

Looking back through my archive I realized that I didn’t take that many macro shots this year, which is a real shame and something I will try and change again next year. But sometimes it is also good to take a break from something and come back later with new ideas.

Animals

Lighting

Every two years there is the Luminale in Frankfurt which is a light exhibit, so I took a whole bunch of images there, which were a challenge for me because I don’t do much low-light photography. I love some of the results though!

Misc

Overall my favorite images are the one I highlighted in the HDR section and the one in analogue. they are very, very different but I love looking at both of them! Which one would you have highlighted?
